info regarding US power grid.  Hacked by Iran.  Seems like this could be a problem.

This is one of the most realistic scenarios that would drive us to Prep  :dancingGrenade:

It would surely lead a crapton of other folks to start should they make it through.

And it would lead me to be very happy I already do a pile of prepping.  And let me last longer than the rest of the neighborhood who decided the govt would take care of them.

And its a good chance of happening.  It would not take much to make the moving electrons go away for a week or 6.  Without hacking or otherwise getting into a computer system.

I retired from an electric and gas company 13 years ago and back then the CO. that I worked for took security very seriously. Some companies didn't and to this day some are lax.
 When I built this house which in this area almost everything is electric I told the contractor I wanted everything Propane, there isn't any naturel gas near here. He looked at me like I was crazy. The only things I really need electricity for is my well, septic system and heater fan.
I haven't bought a generator yet but its high up on the list.

IMO, this could be devastating to this or any other country so reliant on electrical current. We have back-ups for all electrical devises at the cabin.

Without a doubt BiFuel with a Generlink connection. My electric Co-op installs them.

I did not know those things existed.  I think I shall have to get one on the list when I get my own redoubt on the grid.  When I want it on the grid.
